Playing his seventh Dawnbusters match, Harrie Ginate hit a 57 off the stick (net 23) to score victory on a quite glorious Sunday morning at Carpentaria Golf Club.

He finished one stroke ahead of Grant Crossley who had to settle for the bridesmaid second in the 15-player field.

Harrie said his passion for golf was instrumental in his win on the day, spending every spare moment on the course improving his game.

Showing their prowess on the back 9, Olly Tata and Matt Byrne hit 42 and 43 respectively.

Beth Dall won the daily double by taking out the women’s longest drive and Hoffman’s.

Big gun for the men, Matt Byrne took out the men’s longest drive.

Controversy followed “nearest the pin” with Mick “Magic Apples” Cerneka launching a protest following awarding of the prize. But his challenge, although heard, was denied due to his failure to mark the NTP correctly and adjudicator Jon Dall ruled in his own favour to win the pin award.

Dawnbusters welcomed two new players to the family, Phil Brown and Rory Scarborough, playing their first game with the group.

New players are always welcome and are invited to this week’s game on Sunday 14 December teeing off at about 6 am when Dawnbusters will take on the front 9.
